The daughter of the former US Vice President, Dick Cheney, is considering running for office after emerging as a leading critic of Barack Obama. Liz Cheney, a mother of five children, has become one of the sharpest and most outspoken critics of the new White House and has needled the Obama administration for failing to protect the nation against terrorism, and mollycoddling terror suspects while pursuing government lawyers who approved water-boarding, a method of inquisition she approves of. She called the president's Nobel Peace prize a "farce". Pushed by friends and family, Ms Cheney is now reportedly contemplating a run...

Return to the Article October 06, 2007Archaeology and John's Gospel: Is skepticism chic passé?By James Arlandson John is known as the spiritual Gospel because, among other reasons, it has extended metaphorical discourses, such as the bread of heaven (6:25-59), and a long, one-on-one dialogue with the religious leader Nicodemus about deep truths (3:1-15).

Scholars ignored them or preferred to see them as symbolic because surely John was not concerned with mundane matters. The more skeptical said that it was wrong in many cases....

Some Scientists Worry That Sophisticated Center Will Distort Children's Views of Science According to an ABC News poll, 60 percent of Americans believe God created the world in six days. In Petersburg, Ky., this weekend, a creation museum is opening that depicts a story far from what you may have learned in science class.

"You'll get people into a place like this that you can't get into a church with...

by David Yeagley Discovering conspiracy is exciting. It’s makes terrific TV shows like The X-Files, and great James Bond movies. Political conspiracy makes for great media fodder too. The Clintons have proven an exhaustless source of inquiry. Whether created by Communists or by space aliens, conspiracies keep us intensely occupied. Discovering conspiracy is such a strong propensity of the human mind that one has to wonder whether suspicion of conspiracy is itself not some Jungian archetype of the Collective Unconscious. Carl G. Jung (1875-1961), the Swiss ‘anthro’-psychologist insisted there was memory of common, primordial human experience imbedded in the unconscious...
